    I have about $45k total invested in my 2008 Z06 (I know it's not worth that much. Engine upgrades costed around $10k - money I'll never see again, but it sure makes the car fun!). Anyway, it's just a naturally aspirated Heads/cam/exhaust LS7. No supercharger, turbos, or nitrous. Since it weighs just 3100 pounds, and now produces 660 hp, it will outperform any stock C7 Z06, Hellcat Redeye, and even the 2020 C8. The LS7 (with aftermarket heads) is a beast of a motor. It's the most fun I have ever had driving on the street.

    "We would never attempt this on a set of jack stands." I have done a clutch swap on a C5 Z06 and a C6 GS and both was on jack stands. I also was by myself the whole time. Its not easy and a lift is definitely a huge help but you can do it on jack stands just fine.

    • @Adierit
      @Adierit 5 років тому +1

      @deadend Not sure you've ever worked under a car on jack stands before, there is literally nothing dangerous about it. Less room, sure. But at the same time... you have a jack on the trans when you drop it in either situation anyhow.

    • @Adierit
      @Adierit 5 років тому +1

      @deadend Except we're talking about a jack **stand** not a jack. You need a jack for both the lift or the jack stands anyhow, for removal of any parts you're dropping from underneath. You're not under the car very much to drop a transmission, as you're lowering it down onto a jack to pull it out. A jack stand is the exact same material as a hydraulic lift, they're both steel. One just has a hydraulic cylinder to move it up and down. Sure the jack stands don't lift it up as high, but you don't need to stand under a car to work on it, your grandfather did it long before those lifts became wide spread. Guess what they used then?

    You can add a supercharger to a C6 and get equal power, but it will never keep up with the C7 as far as handling. Between the much stiffer frame to the electronic rear differential and electronic steering rack the C7 simply handles noticeably better. I've had both the C6 and currently have the C7, both Z06's, and the C7 is much more stable and planted, and gives you much more confidence in the twisties.

    after having removed my c6 drivetrain twice using jackstands.. I'd definitely second the sentiment of using a lift if possible. I see now why so many C6 are heavily modded. It's so labor intensive to do some jobs it's almost better to just take the whole car apart one time and put all the mods on as you reassemble the car. I sure hope this car's torque tube couplers and bearings were at least inspected before being put back in. (yes, I realize this video old.) The C6 is a love/hate car for sure. Love driving on it, beginning to hate working on it.

    You don’t need boost in a c6 z. Heads , cam , ported msd intake, cold air , ported tb and you have 580-620whp na add e85 and you have 650 whp n/a. At the lowest and smallest cam 550-580 whp that will bot race a c7 z which makes 550-570 whp 580-600 wtq stock in both et and trap speed. You add boost and it’s not even fair for the c7 z it’s to heavy at 3570 the c6 z can weight 3109-3200 or less with light weight wheels and headers . Second those brakes are two heavy you want 2 piece rotors with aluminum hats those are one piece and heavy.

    I read somewhere that GM had built a 454LS engine based off the LS7427(really426). However they couldn't get it to pass emissions. So they moved on to adding blowers. But somewhere that engine exists.
    It would be cool to see a Hotrod story about it!

    • @sparkplug1018
      @sparkplug1018 5 років тому

      Theres a lot of engines that GM (among others) have made that are along those lines. No doubt they made a LS 454, they were also developing a factory V12 and V16 at one point like 10-12 years ago. If you want to know where they are now, id say take a look at that soda can you may be drinking from and theres a good chance a bit of it is in there.
